Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 707: Chapter 70: Sweet Temptation (Third Fan Ticket Update)

Xiao Xian had been an orphan in both her past and present lives, but she was fortunate to first have a master, and then meet the loving couple Zhu Shijun and Zhuo Feng, who cherished her dearly. Compared to Xiao Que, she was truly much more fortunate. She pulled Xiao Que closer, caressing his head, and spoke earnestly, whether he understood or not, "I, Zhu Xiaoxian, swear I will never let Xiao Que suffer the slightest grievance."

Hearing Xiao Xian mention her name, the man who always wore a stern face momentarily flickered in his expression—a change that Zhou Ziang caught in his eyes. However, the most pressing matter at present was to find Mei Nian. Zhou Ziang put his doubts aside and started to roast some sweet potatoes.

After the incident with the sweet potatoes, Zhou Ziang repeatedly released Spiritual Energy to let Ba Dong adapt to his Spiritual Energy while letting Ba Dong constantly sniff the ice blade fragment.

"It’s been several days of training; I think it’s about time to go out and find someone," Ba Dong seemed to like Zhou Ziang quite a lot. Every time he approached Zhou Ziang, he would affectionately wag his tail. But every time Xiao Xian couldn’t help but touch its thick fur, it would look at her disdainfully, seemingly scorning the Silver Grade Spiritual Energy she possessed.

"Being kind is perceived as being weak; even a dog bullies me because of my low cultivation," Xiao Xian lamented. However, this only fueled her fighting spirit more. In the desolate snowy mountains, she found tranquility instead, slowly inhaling Spiritual Energy.

Over these past days, Zhou Ziang had discovered something peculiar about the way Xiao Xian absorbed Spiritual Energy. Especially at night, she exuded a thick aura of Spiritual Energy, which was very similar to that during his time at Yunteng Sect.

In the Changbai Mountain Range, with its white snow enveloping the area and plants halting their growth in winter, cultivating had its pros and cons. The advantage was such serene environments made it easier for one to return to their inner self, but the disadvantage was the available Spiritual Energy had reached its lowest point.

Zhou Ziang had also tried cultivating in the mountains, absorbing some Spiritual Energy. However, there seemed to be a strange magnetic field present; every time he tried to gather Spiritual Power, it felt as if forcefully pulled away like an iron nail dusted with magnetic powder.

This phenomenon was not solely felt by Zhou Ziang; the beast-like man with an immeasurable depth of cultivation—who seemed above Zhou Ziang—had never been seen cultivating since he had retorned home.

A person negligent in their cultivation couldn’t have attained high cultivation levels, but the man’s depth was truly elusive, leading to the conclusion that this place was unsuitable for cultivation.

Among the three, it seemed only Xiao Xian was unaffected by the strange phenomena of Spiritual Energy here. She spent her days idly chopping or collecting wood with Xiao Que and familiarizing herself with Zhou Ziang and Ba Dong. The remainder, which was typically at night, was her time for cultivation.

During her initial breathing exercises, Xiao Xian had also noticed the peculiarities of this place, but she did not give up immediately – rather, the sugarcane seedling within her didn’t. The battle between the sugarcane seedling and the strange magnetic force absorbing Spiritual Power was like a tug-of-war—sometimes one being stronger, sometimes the other.

Caught in between, Xiao Xian was initially unaccustomed, but in the later phase, when both forces were exhausted, she seized the opportunity to catch some of the Spiritual Power.

Such a peculiar phenomenon would have been difficult to notice by anyone except her. However, every morning, seeing her spirited appearance, Zhou Ziang and that man both perceived some clues.

"Is there a cultivation method more domineering than the ginseng spiritual vein in the world?" The methods of cultivation in this world and Yunteng were indeed similar in creating special conditions. Apart from relying on one’s talents to harness Spiritual Power from the surroundings, there was also the concept of Spirit Veins. Changbai Mountain boasted a unique Spirit Vein unmatched globally, but this particular Spirit Vein was very special; ordinary people couldn’t absorb it, let alone control it. And on Earth, not all Spirit Veins are perennial; many were prominent in earlier years but disappeared over time, like the perennially flourishing Spirit Vein at Huake Institute, which is a rarity in the world.

This particular vein in Changbai Mountain had existed for thousands of years, yet was quite unique, which is why despite knowing about the Spirit Vein within the mountain, several old monsters from both domestically and internationally dared not act rashly. If it wasn’t for Mei Nian boldly intruding into that Spirit Vein, the outcome would have been unpredictable.

Such days quietly passed for another three to four days.

During these few days, an airplane bound directly for the airport slowly landed. Several men and women walked down from the airplane.

Li Ye, Xu Lan Ya, Aisha, Huang Tengchong, along with several others from the Xu Family, arrived at the foot of Changbai Mountain.

For Xu Lan Ya insisting on bringing Yezi along to search for the ginseng spiritual vein, Aisha was the most dissatisfied. Xu Lan Ya was about the same age as her, and both women, considered heavenly beauties in the eyes of men, had not spared each other in their covert competitions.

Yet now, the two families needed to cooperate, and being on Chinese soil, she had to follow Xu Lan Ya’s decisions.

Huang Tengchong also couldn’t figure out how, in just a few days, Yezi, who initially paid little attention to Xu Lan Ya, suddenly transformed into her most trusted person.

After receiving a message from the manager of Emperor Hotel, Huang Tengchong’s look towards the two carried a hint of ambiguity. Yezi pretended not to noticed as his gaze stayed on Aisha.

Aisha brought something special this time—a beautiful bird covered in golden fur, about the size of a parrot. To get the bird on the plane, Aisha had chartered the entire aircraft.

"It’s time to head towards the Changbai Mountain area. You’re relying on you this time, my darling," Aisha stroked the golden bird, her voice sweet, yet her eyes betrayed a fierce glint.
